I have a 1996 Kia Sportage that I recently purchased.
After driving a couple thousand miles,it suddenly started stalling out after running for about 5 minutes.
Then it would start and run for a minute or two(after letting it sit for a few minutes),and stall.
It continually progressed until it stalled more and more frequently,and eventually refused to start.

The only thing I know for certain is it isnt a exhaust blockage.Its almost a brand new exhaust system.
What would good points to start be?
Fuel Filter? Possibly timing?
